Johnny Pastrami’s

First of all!!! FREE WIFI, GREAT FOOD, AND FRESH COFFEE!!!
Went their with my really good friend and this place was just what we needed this morning!
The portions were absolutely perfect and the waitresses filled our coffee whenever they seen it close to empty, (shows how much they care about their customers) both waitresses were very friendly and polite and quickly got to our order and it was just a very good breakfast!
This place is definitely a gem for St. Catharines, we don’t usually go out for breakfast but this was a first and with all the menu choices for breakfast and lunch we will surely go back soon! Coffee was only $ 2 for unlimited coffee and it was fresh and hot, just how we like our coffee!
Looks small from the outside but can seat many people if you’re dining in!
Our experience here was just amazing and I will surely make this place a regular with my family and friends :)

Service was the worst possible. Keep you waiting at the door so the cook can get caught up. Never heard of such a thing. Can’t find the girl for more coffee once you get one. And you can only order what’s on the menu… so if your looking for any changes forget it.

The. Breakfast, was ok. Home fries, from frozen perfectly cubed tiny potatoes… game changer. back to Lester’s

Great place for breakfast. Had the Big Boy three of everything. Needless to say they had to carry me out of there I was so stuffed but so happy.

We were looking for a late lunch place after shopping at the local farmer’s market. We ordered a pastrami sandwich place and a today’s special (BLT sandwich and a bowl of home made soup). The pastrami was thinly sliced and very tasty, and the home made soup was so yummy and filling. Very friendly server, a nice little place with good food, we plan to try their breakfast next time.

Went for a late breakfast, and was nicely surprised. Two eggs 3 slices of bacon, the decent home fries and toast. Served all day, (closes at 3, they only do breakfast and lunch) the coffee was good, very diner like.
The place was clean, had friendly staff. Nice little place. Will have to go back and try a sandwich.
Cheers

We were staying nearby and I was looking for a good breakfast spot, so we tried Johnny’s out.
When we arrived we were greeted by one of the servers and grabbed one of the 8 to 10 tables available. The menu was short and compact and listed the basic breakfasts and sandwiches a decent breakfast and lunch place should have.
I got a big breakfast (can’t remember the name but it was eggs, toast, bacon, and pancakes, and a bit of fruit — nice addition!) and it was really good. The toast was thick and the bacon was just fantastic — I’m not sure what kind it is, but it is as good as I have had in higher end restaurants. Food prep wasn’t speedy, but it was worth the wait.
My lady friend had a hankerin’ for a Reuben sandwich. I was a bit surprised that I thought it was on the small side, but it looked OK. I noticed it was only half eaten after a while and wondered what the hesitation was, although there was a comment about the meat tasting different than she expected.
We finished up and went to the counter to check out, and my partner asked the waitress about the meat. «Was the meat on the Reuben corned beef?» The server glanced over her shoulder and asked the cook (maybe Johnny?) about the Reuben and he said, «I mix it up sometimes. Today I made it with Montréal smoked meat.» That was a bit of a shocker to us, as a Reuben has always been synonymous with corned beef, unless it specifically said some other meat. We never thought to ask… The sandwich was OK, but it was not what we thought we were ordering, and it was not what was expected. As I said, the sandwich was not bad, but not what was expected.
Overall a very good place for breakfast. Make sure to be specific about what you order, unless you are OK with some variation to standards. (Again — not saying that is bad — just saying be aware you may get something different than expected, which can be a good thing!)

We stopped in on our way from Toronto to Niagara for lunch – too bad this place isn’t closer to home!
I had the Reuben with pastrami and it was an excellent – somewhere in the upper range if I had to rate all of the Ruebens I’ve ever enjoyed, especially those in Canada. The coleslaw was also good and the helping of fries most generous.
This place is no BS, no frills, no fuss – just great sandwiches, burgers and what I assume are great, basic breakfasts.
Service is warm and friendly and prices are spot on.
If I ever get the chance again, I would love to try their smoked meat and corned beef.
If you live nearby, and like big, meaty sandwiches, don’t miss this place!

Great place for breakfast. Had the Big Boy (what a naughty boy!) which was basically three of everything, well presented, well served. Would I go again? Yes, indeed.

A nice clean place that serves a delicious breakfast at an affordable cost.
Nice service and clean washrooms.
